When I make smoothie's, I like to have a thicker consistency, so I look for
fruit or vegetables that will give me that. I don't like to add ice or protein
powder to get a thick consistency. When buying mango's, I look for healthy, and
unblemished, with a slight give. The secret is to let them ripen on the counter until very ripe!
What do I mean? I have found that leaving them to ripen, and getting very soft to the
touch, you get more flesh from the middle seed. When I let them "soften" I
don't get as much of the seed:( So watch them, and let them get very soft
without going bad!
makes 1 1/2 cups plus
1 mango
1/2 cup milk ( I used oat milk)
1/4 cup blueberries
2 T blueberry yogurt
Wash and peel the mango, cut into chunks, add everything to blender
and mix until very smooth.
